CNN contributor breaks down how the Fox News Dominion lawsuit shows that Fox promoted lies that led to violence
Karen Finney: “Fox helped to promote lies that led to violence in the Georgia special election, as we've seen from the January 6th hearings on January 6th and since”
PUBLISHED
From the February 19, 2023, edition of CNN's State of the Union
PAMELA BROWN (CNN HOST): I want to fit the Fox News bit in before I let you all go. It all sort of ties into this right. Because we're seeing this play out on Fox News as well, and that is where election denialism played out after the election in 2020. We're seeing now from this Dominion voting systems 200-page lawsuit against Fox that they layout instances of correspondents getting reprimanded for fact checking and show that an anchor even pushed for one to get fired, they show that many within the organization privately ridiculed election fraud claims made by Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, but Fox still allowed these lies to be promoted.
KAREN FINNEY (CNN CONTRIBUTOR): 100%. Fox helped to promote lies that led to violence in the Georgia special election as we've seen from the January 6th hearings on January 6th and since. I mean, we are still in a country that is largely divided around whether or not you believe the 2020 election was legitimate. Fox News news, has been part of creating that divisive part of America and it is shameful frankly. They are also part of promoting Republicans in Congress. You talk about sort of the brands of the Republican party. It's not just Michigan. It is the Congress of the United States of America where we see election deniers and people who participated in January 6th running the House GOP featured on Fox every day.
